GameStop has acknowledged overwhelming demand for the PlayStation 4 console. Walking into one of its retail stores today, you may find one of Sony's new console on the shelf, but that's not any indication of the type of demand experienced. In a press release announcing the arrival of a new shipment of PS4 consoles, the retailer shed some light on the type of demand it experienced over the holiday season.

"As expected, we experienced tremendous customer demand for the new PS4 console during the initial launch and throughout the holiday season, selling out of the consoles just as quickly as we could stock them," said Darron Nielsen, Senior Merchant for GameStop. Odds are if you were looking for a PS4 this holiday season, you probably already know this. Even now the PlayStation 4 is hard to come by as Sony has admittedly been having a hard time keeping up with consumer demand.
